Manchester City are preparing to compete with Liverpool and several top European clubs to sign Marc Guéhi when he becomes a free agent next summer. The 25-year-old England international defender was close to joining Liverpool during the recent transfer window after the two clubs agreed on a £35 million fee. Guéhi even passed medical examinations ahead of the move.
However, Crystal Palace ultimately pulled out of the deal at the last minute after their manager Oliver Glasner insisted Guéhi remain at Selhurst Park for the current season. This decision has left Guéhi available on a free transfer next summer, sparking a high-profile race for his signature.
Liverpool remain interested, but Manchester City are now also positioning themselves as serious contenders. Alongside these Premier League giants, major European clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Juventus have shown interest in acquiring Guéhi.
A potential move in January 2026 is not possible due to transfer regulations, so attention is focused on the next summer transfer window when the defender's contract expires.
This transfer saga emphasizes Guéhi's rising profile as one of Europe's most sought-after defensive talents, attracting interest from several elite teams competing domestically and internationally.
